“Will this report put an end to the cap-and-trade bs?”
You’ve got to be kidding. Here’s the playbook:
If a scientist (or non-scientist or complete ignoramus) says CO2 is destroying the planet, that equals “concensus”.
If a scientist, no matter how distinguished, says the concerns over CO2 are overblown, that individual (or those tens of thousands of such individuals) does not exist, so far as the politicians and MSM are concerned.
Or they try the “shoot the messenger” attack instead of trying to refute the messenger’s facts.
“Senator Barbara Boxer, a California Democrat who heads the committee, said after Happer’s testimony that he is affiliated with an institute that received hundreds of thousands of dollars from ExxonMobil over the past decade.”
